The finalists were chosen from among 49 superintendents, one from every state in the country, except Hawaii. The award was presented for Tucker’s work as superintendent in Worthington, Ohio, where he worked for four years. Before that, his jobs included director of secondary curriculum, principal, teacher and coach in Worthington, Licking Heights and Hilliard school districts.

Need Help With Winter Heating Bills?

Do you snore or know someone whodoes? You are not alone. An estimated 40million Americans snore. But while snor-ing can be disruptive, it is often a symp-tom of a life-threatening medical con-dition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea,where the airway collapses during sleep,causing the person to stop breathing andawaken with a gasp multiple times perhour. Untreated, sleep apnea can lead toexcessive fatigue, high blood pressure,heart disease, diabetes, and even death.

At Cincinnati Dental Sleep Medicine,Dr. Kitzmiller and his team focus on thetreatment of snoring and sleep apnea.For Dr. Kitzmiller, it’s not just part of hispractice, it’s personal. As a sleep apneasufferer, Dr. Kitzmiller knows firsthandthe effects of untreated snoring andsleep apnea. “I used to think that mysnoring was harmless, until my wife Loriwould complain to me that she barelyslept due to my snoring and that when Istopped breathing it really scared her.”After his sleep apnea diagnosis in 2007and his inability to tolerate a CPAP ma-chine, Dr. Kitzmiller underwent exten-sive sleep medicine training to uniquelyqualify to treat not only himself, butnow over a thousand Cincinnati-areasufferers with Oral Appliance Therapy.An oral appliance is an FDA-approved,custom-fabricated, CPAP alternativedevice that is worn over the teeth whilesleeping. The appliance, similar in size toa whitening tray, holds the lower jaw justslightly forward, preventing the collapseof the airway.

Every year in March, Dr. Kitzmillerreaches out to the community to createincreased awareness of the dangers ofsnoring and sleep apnea, during NationalSleep Awareness Week. The annualawareness campaign begins on March 6and ends on March 13, the beginning ofDaylight Saving Time, when we all turnour clocks forward and “spring ahead.”

If you would you liketo retrace part of SirErnest Shackleton’s 1914-1917 expedition to theSouth Pole, then Wyo-ming’s Bud Thomas isyour man.

Hats off to him; of theonly 200 people who havesuccessfully completedthis trip, he is the oldest.His 75th birthday wasFeb. 13 and this was hissecond time in the Ant-arctic.

You will need nervesof steel, an adventurousspirit, good equipmentand strong faith. Youmust be prepared forwinds up to 80 mph, pos-sible seal attacks, climb-ing 1,000 foot heights andfalling into deep crevass-es. Bud joined others on atrek across ElephantIsland this past Novem-ber using the same routeas Shackleton. Bud likesto explore and learn newcultures, climb moun-tains and go kayakingand dog sledding. He hashiked in Brazil along theAmazon River and in theSahara and Gobi Deserts.

He flew to Argentina,boarded a ship to theFalklands in the SouthAtlantic Ocean, and thensailed on to South Geor-gia in Eurasia whereShackleton abandonedhis damaged ship andtrekked across the Brit-

ish-ownedisland.They’velabeled itthe mostdanger-ous intheworld.Explor-ers mustprove

that they are veryskilled, have $50,000 ofinsurance coverage andbe cleared by Britain.South Georgia is a scien-tific site; you can neithertransport nor leave bioorganisms behind.

The Southern Ocean isthe most violent becausethere is no land mass tostop the 40-50 feet waves.Most of the hikers gotseasick except Bud andhis roommate. Of fourships in the area at thattime, theirs was the onlyone that completed thevoyage.

The majority of theirsupplies were in the sledsthey pulled. Duringbreaks they had sevenminutes to don a heavyjacket to keep fromfreezing to death, eat andthen shed the jacket tokeep from perspiring toomuch when they skied.Cooking meant heatingwater in a cup and pour-ing dehydrated pasta,

rice and beans and oat-meal into it. Cleaning upmeant pouring water intothe same cup and drink-ing the contents so as notto leave bio organisms.

During a severewhiteout, everyone lostsight of the lead team atthe edge of a 50-foot cliffthat one hiker fell into,but was saved. Thewhiteout was so fiercethat no one could tell thedifference between thecliff, the whiteout andfirm snow. To test foravalanche danger atTrident Ridge, they madea 400-pound wheel of

snow and ice and rolled itdownhill. Persons in thefirst and third teams fellinto crevasses, but no oneon Bud’s team did. Thewinds flattened tents,sleds got out of control,tent poles broke and menwere knocked down. Thisslope is the make orbreak point, where peo-ple decide to proceed orgo back.

The ship waited in thebay to pick up the hikers’equipment so that theycould finish the finalthree miles unencum-bered to Stromness, theabandoned whaling sta-

tion from which Shackle-ton sent a boat to rescuethe rest of his crew onElephant Island in 1916.At Shackleton’s grave inSouth Georgia, they helda memorial service, andas is customary, pouredtheir last sip of Britishwhiskey onto the grave.

The Learning Lab seeksto provide training to the Sis-ters on how to repair solarpanels while also serving as aneducational tool for local stu-dents.

Students ventured to the

neighboring SNDdeN campusto observe the installation of 12solar panels on the roof of agarage/maintenance building.Students met with the projectmanager, Keith Hanley, whoexplained the basics of theinstallation process and theworkings of the solar panels.Hanley is a retired civil engi-neer who spent his career atProcter & Gamble and is volun-teering his time to this project.

Students were also able toobserve the problem solving ofthe crew as the installationprocess had a few bumps. TheLearning Lab’s first phase withthe installation of the equip-ment is complete. The nextphase includes students work-ing to understand the equip-ment and how power is col-lected and stored in the unit.

“This is a very exciting timefor our community,” said Mi-chelle Shafer, MND sciencedepartment chair and STEMcoordinator. “Not only does thispresent a real world engineer-ing problem, this project con-nects us further with the Sis-ters of Notre Dame de Namur.Our students are excited tolearn about the cutting edgeSNDdeN missionary efforts.”

Oh my gosh, I’m not sure how toeven start this column since the reci-pes are a bit weird. So I’ll just goahead and say it. Today’s recipes veeroff from the norm in that they crackthe ceiling when it comes to speed

scratch foods. Thatmeans they both usepackage ingredientsand neither is fromscratch and neither is,well, probably thehealthiest thing youcould serve. I almostfeel like I should apolo-gize, but I won’t.

Why? Both the 7-cansoup and the Mississip-pi pot roast are so pop-

ular they’ve gone viral. And get this:both have been around a very longtime.

Credit social media for a resur-gence of interest, so much so that theNew York Times published an articleon the roast.

Ree Drummond, from “The Pio-neer Woman Cooks,” made the soupon her TV show to rave reviews. So ifthese recipes are good enough for theNew York Times and a celebrity cook,they’re good enough for us Tristatefolks! It’s fun once in a while to sharefunky, fun recipes like these.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenYou can use salt free beans, corn

7- or 8-Can soup

The original recipe is called “7 can soup,” but I added an extra can of corn. I chuckled the wholetime I made this. I served it with cilantro and a sprinkling of cayenne. Next time, I’ll add a dollop of sourcream.

1 can meat-only chili (I used Hormel)1 can, 15 oz. each, undrained, of:Corn - but I used 2 cans Fiesta type cornKidney beansPinto beansBlack beansDiced tomatoes1 can, 10 oz. Rotel or tomatoes with green chilies8 oz. Velveeta, regular, Mexican or your choice, cubed (could use a bit less or sub shredded

cheddar or Mexican blend)Ground cayenne pepper (opt)

Empty all except cheese and cayenne, into pan over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmerfor about 20 minutes to meld flavors. Stir cheese into soup until it melts. Add cayenne or salt and pepperto taste.

Slow cookerMississippi pot roast

The combo of the herbs inthe ranch dressing and thesavory elements of the gravymix make for a lip-smackin’dish. And guess what? I’venever used dry gravy mix. So I’ma newbie to it. How aboutthat?!

Way back when, this wascalled Italian pot roast since itused pepperoncini, those spicypickled Italian peppers. Appar-ently, the recipe has southernroots, hence the name Mis-sissippi pot roast.

First, check your butcherto see if they carry tri-tip, assome may not. I talked withBob Chaulk, butcher at JungleJim’s Eastgate, who told methey carry tri-tips along withPicanas, a similar roast from thetop of the sirloin. Tri-tip, part ofthe bottom sirloin sub-primalcut, is easily recognized by itstriangle shape. I’m thinkingthat a chuck roast would workbut since I haven’t tried it, I’llleave that up to you. If you douse chuck, trim it, and if it turnsout fabulous, let us know.

4 pound tri tip roast1 pkg. Au jus gravy mix1 pkg. Hidden Valley ranch

A publication of

Feb. 17 questionWhich Cincinnati team is most

likely to win a championship next -Bengals, Cyclones, Reds, UC foot-ball, UC basketball or Xavier bas-ketball? Why?

“I’d say Xavier basketball, butwinning the NCAA tournamentfirst time in the Final 4 is astretch. So...have to go with theBengals because they have bestshot with potential repeat as AFCNorth champions in 2016, not pre-dicting a (Super Bowl) champi-onship though.”

C.G.

“In 2015 The Bengals lost inovertime with their secondstring QB to the Super Bowlchampion Denver Broncos. Hadthis game been at home with An-dy Dalton starting the result mayhave been different. I have tofeel the Bengals are closer to achampionship due the more evenplaying field of the NFL (salarycap etc...). XU has Final Four bas-ketball potential this year and theCyclones are often in the mix.The Reds are regressing whileUC is stuck unless they can getinto a Power 5 conference. Withthe exception of the Cyclones’Kelly Cups, the championshipcupboard has been bare since the1990 Reds World Series sweep.Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“I have no idea which Cincin-nati area team will win a champi-onship, but I do know which onehas no chance at all – the Bengals.As long as the current coach re-mains in place and he and owner-

ship continue to allow the world-class-embarrassing antics theentire nation witnessed in themost recent playoff game, theBengals don't deserve to win any-thing other than last place. I amfirst and always a Lions fan, but Inow live in Cincinnati and I sowant to support and be proud ofthe Bengals, but this team, thiscoach and especially this ownerhave not earned my respect normy pride. Nice job boys.”

M.J.F.

“Xavier basketball is mostlikely to win the next champion-ship because currently they havethe right mix of players and ahead coach that knows how toachieve success with those play-ers. The Reds are in a long proc-ess of rebuilding and the Ben-gals, basketball Bearcats haveunderachieving teams with me-diocre head coaches. UC footballjust simply cannot compete withthe Power 5 conferences.”

Anne’s stress level hadbeen raised following a dis-cussion with colleagues re-garding the recent court case,Friedrich’s v. CaliforniaTeachers Association.

The primary issue of thecase involves the court over-turning a 1977 court rulingthat mandated fair shareexpenses or agency fees inlieu of union dues are consti-tutional.

The plaintiffs, nine Cali-fornia public school teachersand Christian Educators As-sociation International, be-lieve they should not have topay for union services suchas collective bargaining andemployee representationbecause those actions consti-tute a form of politicalspeech.

While reflecting on theconversation, Anne began toexamine her personalthoughts.

Very quickly the idea ofhaving the freedom not to payunion or fair share feesemerged. If she had an oppor-tunity to reject these ex-penses she would have $700to $800 of tax free money toapply to her burdensomecollege debt or other personalexpenses.

Considering that at least 30percent of her salary wasmandated for taxes, retire-ment, etc... this new windfallwould be significant.

Once Anne moved passedthe idea of personal gain sheconsidered her beliefs per-taining to the union. Upper-most in her mind was theprofessional responsibility of

belong to anassociationdedicated toprofessionalwell being ofeducatorsand studentsthey serve.

Secondly,she realizedthat her col-leagues andthose who

preceded them devotedcountless hours and energynegotiating a master contractand its ensuing guarantees.Even though contract termswere equal, not fair, Anneappreciated the defined set ofrules that outlined basicworking conditions.

As she continued thesereflective moments, she viv-idly remembered the localassistance another teacherhad received while pursing agrievance prompted by a nonclassroom duty.

During the previous schoolyear the union had providedattorneys to represent anoth-er colleague who was in-volved in a lengthy civil caserelated to a student injured ina playground accident.

Near the conclusion of thisthoughtful debate, she knewseveral union members whoopenly resented the nationaland state organization’s sup-port of various political can-didates and issues. Eventhough she agreed with acouple of their positions, shealso realized the necessity oforganizations to form coali-tions in pursuit of goals im-portant to their mission.

The Supreme Court willissue its ruling sometime inJune. Based on the content ofthe justices questions andcomments when the case washeard in January, court ob-servers suggest it will rule infavor of the plaintiffs. If so,it’s possible public schoolteachers in Ohio and manyother states will not have topay agency fees. Undoubted-ly, up to 30 percent of theteaching force will followprecedent established instates that prohibit agencyfees, thus diminishing politi-cal power of unions, a majorgoal of a national conserva-tive movement.

Anne recalled that previ-ous university classroomdiscussions focused on thepolitics of education were farmore realistic than she everimagined. Well into her firstyear of teaching she nowrealized that the politicaldrama outside her classroomnot only yielded benefits butlasting consequences as well.

Anne’s introspective de-bate shed light on crucialissues affecting her profes-sional growth, opportunities,and livelihood. Regardless ofthe court’s future decision,her commitment to organiza-tions advancing the cause ofeducation with great publicschools for all students and toher professional well beingwas unequivocally resolved.

I taught ethics for a fewyears. To get the class tostart thinking about some ofthe problems people havefaced, the first sessionopened with a tough ques-tion.

Suppose one of your chil-dren or a parent had beenkidnapped and the price forthe return of your loved oneis to kill someone. Whatwould you do? There was noanswer. The problem wassimply to make one think.Ethical problems are notthis hard normally, but thishas been done.

Our problems are mucheasier, but our ethical stan-dards define us. Not only tothe public, but also to our-selves. We have to facethem and live with them.For the most part. We candepend on the reliable TenCommandments, or to bepolitically correct, the 10good ideas. Throughout ourlives, we make ethical deci-sions. Some are good andsome are lacking accordingto generally accepted stan-dards. We become knowneither way. Sadly, the badjudgments we make tend toimplicate others who maybe similar to us. That has

been a faultof humanityfor thou-sands ofyears. Manypeople are soinsecure thatthey feel anymeans ofthinkingsomeone isinferior is away of im-

proving their status. That isjust poor ethics.

But, to get back to thepersonal ethics. You have toset personal standards andyou have to keep and live bythem. Others will know youby them. Even if you havemade minor slips, they oftenlive with you forever. Themajor ones are somethingyou never escape. As youage, your standards havebeen set. The young folkshave to set their own as theymature. It is an importantdecision.

There is another factorthat I want to stress. It isactually fun. You can affectthe lives of others to yourgreat satisfaction. The ideais to do favors for others.They can be big or small. Itis the personal factor that

makes you look good in theirminds. The fun part comesif you are offered a reward.The best answer is to refuseit and tell the person thatyou want them to pass afavor on to some other per-son. You will be rewardedby the look on their face andan inner warmth that tellsyou that you have donesomething that will influ-ence the future recipientsfavorably.

You may even feel thatyou have changed the worldfor the better in your ownsmall way.

What about the personyou have influenced? Thinkabout the possibility that heor she may take up yourleading idea and begin torepeat your great principle.The world needs changing.It will not be done by grandplans of charity, humannature shows that this onlycreates greed, or evenworse, laziness. The smallacts of positive humanitywill hopefully create a per-sonal effect that encouragesacts of kindness. Have funchanging the world a littlebit at a time!

Ethics, a few leadingquestions for you

Ed LevyCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

A family had been dealingwith raccoons that had taken upresidence in their home. Theraccoons were stealing food,having raccoon children, mak-ing noise and creating awfulsmells. They decided to getsome help.

They called (Bernard) a nice,grandfatherly gentleman. Hepromised he could fix the rac-coon problem as well as all theirother problems. The cost wouldbe $500; but, to ease their con-cerns they would not have topay the bill for 10 years. Thebill would have increased to$5,000. By then, hopefully, theirchildren would be able to helppay the bill as well as the familydown the street who hadworked hard and saved.

They decided to try someoneelse (Hillary). She smiled andlaughed a lot. She said that herhusband would even come tohelp rid the house of the rac-coons. She said that as the onlyfemale applying for the job shewas uniquely suited to influ-ence the female raccoons. Itwas true that when othersasked for help they were at-tacked and killed by rabid rac-coons; but, what difference atthis point did it make. The fam-ily questioned her about thefact that at another home shehad been given access to theirsecurity system codes and thatshe had let them be known tothe whole neighborhood. Shejust laughed again.

They decided to try someonewho understood raccoons (Mar-co). His solution was to bringeven more raccoons into theirhome. When the raccoons hadoverwhelmed the family bysheer numbers they wouldcontrol how the house should berun. Until then the raccoonscurrently in the house should be

welcomed andgiven food andshelter. He hadthe support ofseveralwealthy cus-tomers whosupported thisview and gavehim money tolet others knowthis was how tohandle rac-

coons.Since they did not want to

give control of their home to theraccoons, they tried someonewho was not born in the neigh-borhood; but, made a lot ofsense when they talked to him(Ted). He talked about ways totrick the raccoons into doingwhat they wanted. He said hewould meet with churches topray about the raccoon prob-lem. In the end, although thefamily liked everything he said;but, they were not sure if hewould really deliver.

They consulted the last per-son they thought could do thejob (Donald). He was rude,called the family membersnames, was loud and arrogant,and offended practically every-one in their home. But, theyfound that he had been greatlysuccessful with the vast major-ity of what he had done in thepast.

Although, he had never comeinto anyone’s house to rid it ofraccoons before, he wanted theopportunity to show the familythat he could handle their prob-lem and do it economically. Hesaid I can make your homegreat again. Just give me achance. So they did!

And, they lived happily everafter. (I hope).

SHARONVILLE - Everyonce in awhile, the world slowsdown enough to remind youwhat’s really important, likethe sun sneaking through acloudy sky, telling you that nomatter how dark it gets,there’s still a big blue sky upthere.

Those moments can be hardto find and even harder to holdon to.

That’s one of the redeemingthings aboutsports; they of-ten provide mo-ments thatmove human-ity.

MattMaine's winover AnthonyFries helpedhighlight such a

moment, and all they had to dowas what they love: wrestle.

Maine, a junior at PrincetonHigh School, was born withDown Syndrome. Fries is asenior co-captain at ColerainHigh School.

The final 30 seconds oftheir Feb. 12 match was re-corded and uploaded to the@ColerainWres Twitter ac-count. The video was liked orshared more than 300 times onTwitter alone.

The consensus from thoseinvolved say the best part ofthe video is the smile thatemits from Matt’s face as thereferee lifts his hand into theair.

“To see the smile on his faceis my favorite part of thevideo,” said Fries, who had ac-tually met Maine prior to theirmatch through the Young LifeMinistry. “I already knew himso I already knew how awe-some he was. It made it evencooler when I found out I wasgonna get to wrestle him.”

Fries said his coach, ChrisHotopp, approached him after

weigh-ins and asked if he’d beinterested in wrestling Maine.

“I’m all for it,” Anthonysaid.

So after Fries lost his varsi-ty match to one of Princeton’sbest grapplers, D’Alan Wright,he got a short break and thenreturned to face Matt.

“It was one of those mo-ments, I really couldn’t keepmy eyes off it,” said Hotopp,who let an assistant coach filmusing his cell phone. “It was asituation where I’ve got a var-sity match I want to win (on an-other mat) but you think, ‘Ican’t miss this.’

“I knew I picked the rightguy (in Fries). Honestly, Ididn’t even think about myteam; it was just that smile on(Matt’s) face. That smile wasworth a million dollars rightthere.”

The people who know Mattknow that smile. And, whetherit’s the 40th or the first timeseeing Matt, you’re greetedwith a big smile and an evenbigger hug.

Matt won’t be alone whenyou meet him, either. He’s al-most always accompanied byMaxwell Cleveland, who alsohas Down Syndrome and wres-tles as a junior at Princeton.

“They’re like two peas in apod,” said Princeton coach TyRobbins.

They’re not just friends,

READING - Girls flock to Mount No-tre Dame High School for a good educa-tion, two shades of blue and a winningtradition. Most years, some form of cel-ebratory sports hardware finds its wayinto a trophy case.

Signing days usually feature a lobbyfull of girls and proud parents display-ing their new school colors.

D.D.S. Scott Rogers helps patientsachieve toothy grins during the day,then works to give MND players andfans a few grins during the winter onthe basketball court.

An undefeated season in the GirlsGreater Catholic League has given theCougars reason to show their pearlywhites in February. With a mix of expe-rienced players and talented under-classmen, MND did what some previ-ous teams could not.

“Our young kids come to play andthey don’t care who scores the ball,”Rogers said. “They’re great at sharing.It’s tough to get on them becausethey’re really such good kids. Theykind of push themselves. That makes itso much easier to coach.”

Last year’s team featured GGCLfirst-team selections Naomi Daven-port and Dani Kissel. Davenport wasthe Player of the Year and Rogersshared Coach of the Year honors withUrsuline’s Keith Starks and Dan Wal-lace of McAuley. The Cougars sharedthe title with McAuley last year at 9-1and won in 2014 at 8-2. Minus two col-lege-level players, and with senior Ab-bie Scholz sidelined much of the seasonwith a knee injury, Rogers wasn’t bank-ing on a perfect 10-0 run.

They began with senior AbbyWeeks, honorable mention as a junior,as they’re most experienced player.

“That’s a tribute to how hard theyworked this year,” Rogers said of theleague record. “We set the bar high forthem in practice. We knew freshmenand sophomores were going to com-pete for a lot of playing time.”

Where the door was open, the youthstepped in and flourished. BehindWeeks, freshmen Julia Hoefling andGabby Marshall are the second andthird-leading scorers, respectively. Be-hind them are junior Maria Pisciottaand sophomore Abbie Voss. Somegames, five Cougars hit double figures.

Now, with Scholz back and a fullbench, Rogers has MND in the huntagain. From a rather routine lookinglayup line comes trapping defensivepressure and a will to win instilled inthe girls at early ages.

At the beginning of the year, foulswere an issue. As the season wore on,the Cougars have taken better anglesand intimidated opponents not used tobeing trapped or forced out of bounds.

They have a favorable bracket to ad-vance, but eventually will face teamsthat also play pressure defense or havethem out-sized. Fortunately, theircoach has seen a little of everything inwinning three previous state champi-onships at MND; two as head coach andone as assistant. Rogers brushes off thepast success, saying the players decidegames. However, words of wisdom andstrategy can never be discounted andthe veteran is still a little handy evenwithout a white dental jacket.

“Every game’s a state championshipgame right now,” Rogers said. “If youdon’t have that mindset, you’re going toget knocked off. I’ve been on both sidesof it.”

MND reloads for anothertournament runScott [email protected]

though. “My brother,” Matt

says, as he wraps an armaround Max.

Robbins vividly re-members his first encoun-ter with Maine.

“I met Matt at a Prince-ton Parade,” said Robbins,now in his 16th season

with the Vikings. “I waswalking for Princetonwrestling and this handjust grabbed mine.

“He held my hand thewhole parade. Little did Iknow he’d be wrestlingfor Princeton.”

Matt’s win over Friesmoved his season recordto 5-0. The wrestling com-munity has a way of al-ways taking care of itsown. Maine also had winsover Oak Hills, Lebanon,

Mason and Lakota West. “It’s cool cause I am not

the only one (to wrestleMatt); there’s all theseother guys,” said Fries.

“Here I am, completelyable to do everything, butyou have wrestlers thathave one leg, or no limbs,or they’re special needsand they’re also partici-pating in this grind of asport. You have to givethem all respect. That’sjust really impressive.”

away with the game by 25points. The Braves shot60 percent from the fieldand were 7-12 from thethree-point line.

“They handed it to us,”Edmonds said of theDecember debacle. “Ourguys have waited a longtime since that night. Itold our guys, to have achance to get at least apiece of this thing, we’vegot to win out.”

And so they did.Outside of a white-

knuckler against Finney-town Feb. 5, the Cowboyspretty much obliteratedthe rest of the league.After 12 straight league

victories, it all camedown to a return engage-ment with the Braves onFeb. 13.

That was the numberof the night. On Fridaythe 13th, Wyomingracked up a 13th straightleague win to tie IndianHill for the league crown.

The game was a flip ofthe first. This time, Wyo-ming was the aggressor,getting out to a 25-13 firstquarter advantage. TheBraves crept within sixat the half, but then Lon-nie Grayson drilled fiveconsecutive three-balls inthe third quarter to putthe game out of reach.

“My teammates weredriving and kicking andfilling lanes and gettingme open,” Grayson said.“They just all started

going in. We worked allthe way from Dec. 4 toplay these guys again.”

Added Edmonds,“When he gets going, hegets a look in his eye like,look out and get out of theway!”

This time, it was a26-point advantage forWyoming. Grayson, whowas held to 7 in the firstgame, scored 28. IndianHill’s Nick Heidel, whohad 22 in the first, washeld scoreless by theCowboys’ defense.

The tournament drawput Indian Hill and Wyo-ming in Mason for a sec-ond consecutive year. ABraves’ win over NewRichmond and a Wyo-ming victory over Wood-ward would mean a “rub-ber” game Feb. 23.

Millions of people have beenthe victim of identity theft andnow the federal governmenthas set up a website to helpvictims file an official com-plaint and get help fightingback.

The Federal Trade Commis-sion website,www.identitytheft.gov, givesvictims a personalized guidethat streamlines many of thesteps to help victims recoverfrom the financial mess cre-ated by identity theft.

The FTC received more than490,000 consumer complaintsabout identity theft just lastyear – a 47 percent increaseover 2014. That’s prompted the

FTC help victimsby creating thiswebsite. When aconsumer files acomplaint at thesite, it will auto-matically gener-ate affidavitsand pre-fill let-ters and forms tobe sent to creditbureaus, busi-nesses, police,

debt collectors and the IRS.The FTC says, “Consumers

who file a report will receivefollow-up emails and can returnto their personalized plan on-line to continue the recoveryprocess.” Those who run into

problems can turn to the FTCwebsite for alternative ap-proaches.

The website also providesinformation on how to preventidentity theft and how to spotother scams.

In Ohio, more than 1,670identity thefts were reportedlast year and the attorney gen-eral has also set up a specialdepartment to help consumersrecover from this fraud.

The Ohio Attorney Generalrecommends you locate theprivacy settings on all youraccounts, especially socialmedia accounts, and decidehow much you want to sharewith others about you and your

family.Consumers need to realize

many companies sell and shareinformation about them withothers. So they need to checkthe privacy policies of firmsasking them to sign up to re-ceive a prize, receive a dis-count, or get notifications froma company.

To help prevent intruders togetting your personal informa-tion it’s best to use a differentpassword for each website orprogram you use. The OhioAttorney General also recom-mends you disable automaticlogin functions on websites anddon’t allow your browser toremember you login password.

Avoid disclosing personalinformation such as logins,passwords or credit card num-bers when using free publicWi-Fi networks. You need toassume everyone can see whatyou’re doing.

Finally, the attorney gener-al’s office says, when it comesto your own Wi-Fi networkmake sure to use firewalls,router and network passwords,and anti-virus programs thatprotect your internet connec-tion and ensure that only youand your family have access.

“Don had heard ourfriend Bill Wilkie play aeuphonium solo with aband,” Helen said, “andcommented that if he everplayed an instrument, theeuphonium -- with its richbaritone sound – is the onehe would select.”

Helen, a veteran in-strumentalist in the Syca-more Community Band,had also begun playingtrombone in the newlyformed New HorizonsBand of Cincinnati. Sheinvited Don to take les-sons and join the NHB,one of hundreds being or-ganized around the coun-try to help seniors enjoythe health and social bene-fits of playing band mu-sic.

New Horizons Bandswelcome former schoolmusicians and beginnersalike.

The NHB of Cincinnatiis directed by Pete Metzg-er, who led band pro-grams at Sycamore HighSchool for many yearsand now leads the Syca-more Concert Band.

NHB members re-hearse two mornings aweek at St. BarnabasEpiscopal Church inMontgomery, 10345 Mont-gomery Road. Rehearsalsare 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.every Tuesday and Thurs-day.
